It's already close to $2.50 here.
Some gas stations might be charging more than that already.

Clearly, the war was all about oil.  Just look at the low oil prices.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Iraqi insurgents are not cooperating with oil pumping.

Unless you're braindead, you realize of course that the US has alot of public transportation also.  Alot of people just don't use it at all.  Now for me, sure, I would have to drive, but people who live in suburban areas should be taking the metro, carpooling, etc.  Hopefully, 3.00 gas will teach people to be better fuel consumers.

Buses will be raising prices due to this.
And anyways, a lot of areas of the country - particularly red areas - have sh**t for public transportation.

Gas is already around $2.60 here.  SF probably will hit $3 soon at this rate.

Where I live, gas is roughly CDN$0.92/L, which is roughly US$2.86/gallon, and the price has been there for a long time.

You Americans need to stop complaining. Tongue

Gas is almost that expensive here, and I think premium might be more expensive.
It's funny to watch the rest of the US be in shock at having the price start with a '2'. We're pretty used to it.

We have almost caught up to you guys in CA. We are up into the 2.20's. The good news is you can buy a fully loaded Chevy Suburban for about 25k dollars now.

California no longer has any gas station charging in the $2.20s.
We do have stations charging over $3.00 for regular.

Where I work I have noticed a LOT of the independent truck drivers are unloading their own trucks by themselves. We have an independent company that unloads all the trucks for us but now a lot of the indies are unwilling to pay the money to have someone else do it. The cost of diesel is actually HIGHER then regular gas here. Hopefully the high cost of gas won't keep all the yankees from making their summer visits here and I pray that it won't keep them away this fall.

According to this website, the cheapest regular is $2.27 (out of date, I think), and the cheapest diesel is $2.45.
